New Delhi: Against the backdrop of two back-to-back attacks in Jammu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday told his Pakistan counterpart Nawaz Sharif that an atmosphere free of terror and violence is required for resolving all outstanding issues through a bilateral dialogue.
He underlined the message to Sharif on Pakistan’s National Day while greeting him in a letter.
“I have written to Pakistan PM Mr. Nawaz Sharif, conveying my greetings on the National Day of Pakistan,” Modi tweeted.
“It is my firm conviction that all outstanding issues can be resolved through bilateral dialogue in an atmosphere free from terror & violence,” he said
The Prime Minister’s emphasis on atmosphere free from terror and violence assumes significance as only last week Jammu and Kashmir was hit by two attacks in as many days in Kathua and Samba areas.
